ROSE COSTOLO

Adding an air of splendour to the bleak winter months are the exquisite designs of Rose Costolo, Founder of the eponymous fine jewellery label set to take the industry by storm. Stemming from an interest in wearable sculptures, COSTOLO was born less than a year ago and has since been seen on the red carpet, in fashion shows, become a celebrity favourite and is our one to watch in 2023.

The Chicago-born Rose Costolo’s passion for fine jewellery brings us to the iconic city of dreams: Los Angeles, not coincidentally home to three diamond districts. “I always had this creative pull but didn’t quite know how to express it. I went with the flow, went to college, moved to LA. Soon after, I decided to act on my creative impulses and joined Angel City Jewelers and the ball just started rolling from there. They taught me the ropes of the industry and were pivotal in encouraging me to take the leap and start COSTOLO”, Rose explains. As a certified GIA professional, COSTOLO is a mark of expertise, where every piece is made according to the highest grades of quality, while offering unique designs with a distinctive artistic flair.

A true testament to how COSTOLO is making waves within the industry – and beyond – is the trademarked ‘Impossible Diamond’, lab-created diamonds that don’t require mining. “From the moment I got involved in luxury jewellery, I felt the ethical scrutiny was a huge intrinsic problem and I wanted to offer solutions. Our Impossible Diamond is just the first step in that direction, they carry the same atomic chemical structure as naturally mined diamonds and are hand selected after being graded. We also ensure they’re sourced from the West Coast of the United States, from labs that are powered by renewable energy,” explains Rose. In communicating which gems to opt for, COSTOLO does leave the choice with the consumers: “I believe it’s more about communicating different options, but never forcing a certain decision on a person,” Rose adds.
